I would buy a new designed diesel from GM, but not a diesel based off of a gas engine! Surely you could take the engine/transmission and transplant into another vehicle to make cheaper. G8 maybe?

Too bad about 5% of the population can afford it, and of those, maybe 1% would consider buying it. GM's focus is way out of whack. If this is their solution, then they will see further 50 YEAR lows in their stock. Focus on the people who are affected by gas prices, which is certainly not those who buy $120,000 cars. Would I buy it if I had the money?? No way! It's a GM (reliability history sucks). I'll take a Porsche over that any day. GM needs to get their reliability factors worked out, make AFFORDABLE efficient vehicles, and make their production cars look nicer (and stop using so much plastic on the interior).
